During a Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha election campaign for the municipal elections, a speaker claimed that “Bangladeshi” and “Rohingya” were entering localities in the area. He alleged that they had obtained Aadhaar cards from West Bengal and settled in cities such as Delhi and Mumbai. He further claimed that shops were being allotted only to Rohingyas and Bangladeshis instead of Hindus, and went on to peddle the conspiracy theories of “love jihad” and “land jihad.”
